NAME

ald_proxy - Antelope license daemon proxy

SYNOPSIS

ald_proxy [-v] [-ver]

DESCRIPTION

The ald_proxy program is used to proxy internet connections from Antelope client programs that need to acquire licenses from an Antelope license server and the Antelope license servers. This program would be used in situations where secure firewalls prevented direct access to the external internet by the Antelope client programs. This program is statically linked, does not require an Antelope license to run and does not depend in any way on the Antelope distribution.

ald_proxy listens to incoming license request connections and routes traffic to an Antelope license server as specified in the normal manner as documented in notes_licensing(5). The listen port is hardwired to be 6599 so that only one ald_proxy can run at a time on a single host. In order to use a proxy on the Antelope client program host the ANTELOPE_LICENSE_SERVER_ADDRS environment variable should be set to <ald_proxy_host>:6599 in any of the various ways as described in notes_licensing(5).

OPTIONS

• -v
  Verbose diagnostic output flag.
